Blackfoot Forest la jolie fleur

aw but maybe a wild @Samuel

it was time. aaron had announced that there would be mateships occurring in the cliched little wood -- madeline had long feared this day, but she steeled herself against it all the same. she could not leave rosings without claudia in the care of a guardian -- both aaron and faramir were against such a pairing -- and so madeleine would make a great sacrifice for her ward.

reluctantly she began to search out one of the men she had not yet met -- her heart was heavy and her eyes laden with fitful sleep, but still she pressed on.
